Araldite with some glass fibre dust added, then sand down. It depends what
its for but if its for an electrical device, be careful using metal plates.
Nice smell when worked.
One other issue is are you sure its bakelite and not paxolin or a
compressed form of that used for cheap pcbs etc in the 70s.

Anyone experience of repairing Bakelite? I have a piece about 7 inches
square which has snapped in half. Thickness about 1/12 of an inch. Plan
is to glue the two edges and hold together, then add a plate on the
underside - brass, or possibly plastic, glued in place.

A vintage radio site suggests Araldite as an adhesive - unless anyone has
a better idea?
